《Mana System - Hello, World! [Complete]》Afterword
Advertisement
Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to read Mana System. When I first started this story, it was on a whim. I never really expected to be writing this for two years or for it to reach over 600k words.
Back before the November Writathon, I realized I had no good idea where to take the story after this arc. Sure I could have done a redemption arc and that might of been ok. But I decided it was time to bring the story to a close. So instead of stringing it along, I decided to complete the story with the end of this arc. Hopefully, you all enjoyed this arc as much as I did writing it.
It's probably for the best. This story had a lot of issues but it taught me plenty about how to write. Will my next story be a masterpiece of literature that will shake the world? No, probably not but you might find it interesting. I hope some of you will join in on the new journey with Kingdom of Rust, link in the post chapter notes. The story will be a bit lighter in tone than Mana System and while it will be fantasy, it isn’t LitRPG. If you are interested, check out the synopsis below. And once again, thank you for reading Mana System and all the feedback and comments and for the over 750k views.
***
Ever since Bakus was little, he only wanted to be one thing when he grew up, a Chosen, a protector of humanity. So he trained diligently with that purpose in mind, until the day he came of age.
When he finally managed to fulfill his lifelong wish, he finds out not everything is as he thought and he isn’t nearly as prepared as he should have been. He must now try and survive while he unravels the truth and figures out who he can trust.
***
The first chapters are already out with a Monday through Friday release schedule until I hit chapter 20 or until I meat the goal of the writathon. Then I will go back to my two chapters a week schedule as that works well with my available time to write.

Earth Ascension - Fantasy Adventure LitRPG
It’s a normal day on Earth when a powerful being triggers the assimilation of Earth and all living beings into the Ascended Universe, a frightening wall of light envelops the planet in order to drag it into a higher plane of reality. A place where abundant mana allows powerful magic and monsters to reside. The protagonist Dante wakes up in a dark cave with vague memories of his past life. He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison. Tasked with a grand trial, Dante is dropped on a planet he no longer recognises and starts his perilous journey through the Ascended universe. In this universe resides an omnipotent system that quantifies everyone's existence into numbers, it also assists people in becoming more powerful. Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
